Posting my Red Line 0w-30 UOA with 9,478 miles that was run with a Fram Ultra Oil Filter (report says 10w-30 but was 0w-30 purchased in Jan 2018).
Oil was in service just under a year and saw approx 65% city / 35% highway across last spring, summer, fall and this winter up until Christmas when I changed it.
The city portion is dense traffic, from short trips < 1 mile trips to train station or the office to responding to fire rescue calls (volunteer fire fighter). Highway can be anywhere from 10min, to on this one there were dozens of 2 hour, 75-90mph trips due to training in the fall.
Silicon was flagged but not sure why as they said it was not due to dirt. I stored the sample in an amazon HDPE container before getting the NAPA kit. I also have an AFe Dry Air Filter that was cleaned during this UOA - about halfway if I had to guess.
TBN was 1.4 (flagged as caution) which I feel like I ran this to as far as possible with the driving conditions. Refilled with same oil and kept the filter on. Will be sampling the next oil change as well and open to suggestions on mileage.
